In this post Kerry Bircher, cycling coach at Revolution Cycling focuses on the third and fourth phases of the 100 Mile Sportive training programme.
This part of the overall training programme aims to progress you as a cyclist and whereas Part 1 focused on simply increasing your base miles, the second phase of the training plan continues to build endurance but also focuses on increasing stamina, efficiency and technique. This plan follows Part 1, but is also ideal if you are a leisure or regular cyclist, who can already cycle 40-50 miles and are keen to improve your general fitness and conditioning ready for a longer distance of up to 100 Miles.
Cycling is a great sport for keeping fit but if you are training for a sportive, it is really important to build up your strength and stamina in a structured way.
Just starting out? Check out Kerry’s training plan for your first 100 part 1.
